I just have another question. Ive had it answered by someone already but Im just trying to get a few other peoples prespective.

Will a RWD IS on 18s at stock suspension be at the same height compared to a IS on 20s dropped moderately? Say 1 finger gap all around? By heigh I mean distance from the ground to the bottom of your front bumper.

Essentially what I want to know is if a person who isnt into cars can tell the height difference between the two cars.
As long as you are using stock tires spec, it doesn't u go for 19" or 20" wheels for example if you going for 20" wheels the tires up front should be 225-30-20 and the rear 255-30-20 so with these set up it will be in stock 18" wheels specs are 25.1" diamiater up front and 26.1" in the rear

I think even 19s are too big.

There is zero advantage whatsoever in bigger rims outside of aesthetic appeal, and I don't think this car can even visually pull off anything bigger than 18s if it is dropped. An aggressive offset and a drop are all you need to make 18s look fantastic on this car IMO.

Also, I hear that the car sits higher with 20's. But I thought with the correct tires to maintain rolling diameter, height should be the same.


Added random pictures, with CL, they never hurt!




Its So BEAUTIFUL! I want your KIT!!!

I personally am going 20's myself and having H&R's put on. I know I'll have some rub, but the extent of it is yet to be answered. I really would like to know if it'll rub only when I turn or with everyday driving. I made another post and I have an answer sort of but I hope someone can clarify for me.

Going 235/30/20 8.5 all around. I'll post pics when it's done. Won't get the rims in until July 10th or something. Can't wait!
